Cranks, starts and idles fine, but as soon as I release the brake the engine dies instantly. I checked seat safety switch which is normally closed-when no rider is on the mower and open when a rider is sitting on the mower. I am looking into the interlock switch now, but not 100% sure on how...

When mowing I can smell slight burning rubber and the brake pedal bounces. This drive belt was replaced about two years ago and is now mostly shredded. Mower is the 917.271022. Any ideas? Maybe an idler pulley? Thanks for help/suggestions.

Engine starts OK, but dies when the blades are engaged. Checked seat safety switch, replaced carburetor and removed fuel cap- none of these made a difference. If I turn the blades off quickly and throttle to choke the engine will continue running, so it appears the engine is not getting enough...

Should the center emulsion tube be off to the side like this?

Wondering if the pros could give opinions on these journals and surfaces. Mower was hammering like a rod knocking while running and cutting fine. Turned out to be a cam in two pieces. Can't believe it actually ran and cut. This second cam (used) lasted about 5 seasons. First cam was replaced due...

Steers right fine but when turning left I can see the steering sector gear lifts up slightly. Can't tell what the problem is precisely and I hate throwing money at things. Anyone figured out how to solve this problem with ingenuity rather than more dollars?

Engine Model: 31P777 531 hours on a 18.5 Intek running something terrible. Checked flywheel key and it is fine.Popping out of the carb is erratic in inconsistent just no rhythm to this. Next I plan to check the valve adjustment, but I have seen this same engine with a "flat" camshaft. Mower...

One of the two screws for the throttle plate is completely gone. Where might I find one? Engine Model 31P777. Thanks for any help. EDIT: I believe I found it 691636. Red thread-lock for these?

Working on a GT plastic transmission and a spring has rusted into 3+ pieces and the washer is MIA. Any idea where I might find these parts for my 917.289081? This transmission doesn't match any of the ones depicted at GT's website and of course the sticker is gone. part numbers are from the...

Craftsman LTS2000 (917.289081). I followed the shifter adjustment procedure in the manual and forward works great now, but reverse does not engage at all. After about 10 minutes of messing with this thing the main drive belt jumped off twice so I simply slipped it back on and forward works fine...

When the engine is cold the throttle controls the engine RPM as normal, but when warmed-up the engine appears to be full throttle and will not idle down with the throttle lever.

Please check your rod cap torque before shipping engines to retailers. DOM 4/29/19-yes it was a Monday build. Thought for sure the PO failed to put oil in this engine. Engine looks brand new including cylinder wall! Pulled cover off bottom and saw the rod bearing, rod cap, crankshaft and bearing...

Hello LawnWorld. My mower completely stopped pulling; no forward no reverse. Engine Pulley is spinning and I have verified the engage rod is engaged. Seems the hydraulic pump has failed possibly/probably? This is on a 2004 Poulan Pro 42" Rider. Anyone have information on how to check the...
